EDITORS HERALD.-Permit me to use
little space in your valuable columns
regarding q grievance of which the in
habitants of Summit avenue complain.
There are great number of chuck
holes in the street, the cutters are choked
with weeds and the sprinkling is insuffi-
cient. Only the middle of the street is
ever sprinkled, and that but once day.
A portion of the sidewalk is half covered
with dirt. Between Also street bridge
and Summit avenue there is an arroy O
containing stagnant water and putrd
matter. A petition was addressed by the
inhabitants of Summit avenue to the
Council about ten days ago. This was
referred to the Board of Public Works,
and that is all that has been done.
M Meanwhile the petitioners, who have to
pay their taxes just like the more favored
citizens of other parts of the town, are
seriously inconvenienced. What is the
reason that the Board of Public Works
does not act on said petition? Are not
the petitioners worthy of their atten-
tion? Or are they squandering their time
in Identifying other paris of the town?
What is the matter with the Mayor, W ho
promised so many things before election?
He is elected now, of course, and has
forgotten the election time. What is
the matter with the Councilmen from
the Second ward, Messrs. Teed and COL
Inns! Is Summit avenue too far away
from their own residences to inspire
them with any interest respecting well
fare? What, in the name of common
sense, are the inhabitants of Summit
avenue to do! JUSTICE.

Two Los Angeles visitors.

Thos. e. Rowan, Chairman of the Los
Angeles Board of Supervisors, and w.
]. Brodrick, who is largely interested
in Los Angeles street Car lines, were in
this city Sunday and were shown about
the city by q Sentinel representative.
The visitors expressed their surprise at
the growth of Santa Cruz within the
past few years. They were delighted
with their visit, and charmed with the
prettiness of our city. The gentlemen
were particularly impressed with the
smoothness of our Pacific Av., which is
covered with the bituminous pavement.
The riding on the avenue was 20 easy
that the gentlemen did not tire of riding
along its entire length a number OF
times. Mr.. Rowan, owing to business
engagements, returned to San Francisco
on Monday, but Mr.. Brodrick is still in
this city and is staying at the Pacific
Ocean House. Santa Cruz Sentinel.

| for q sewage farm advance in value % II
undoubtedly would to $500 per acre, the
o ty would make 5000, 600. which would
be about twice what the sewers would
cost according to the very able report of
the City Surveyor. Thus it is reasona.
Bile to conclude that by this generous
offer of the owners of the Sau-
sal Redondo-Centinela rancho-the city
of Los Angeles can obtain a system of
sewerage that will cost the people moth.
i and urquestionably yield profit on
the enterprise.
The location of this sewage farm is
such that when the sewers should be
flushed OF when excessive rains obviated
the necessity of irrigatipg from sewer
pipes, all the outfall of the system could
be turned into the ocean. Suoh an offer
and such an opportunity for bene6tting
the city was never before presented, and
should be embraced at once. By the es-
innate of English engineers submitted to
Parliament, an acre of land will absorb
the sewage of 100 persons, so that 5000
acres would suffice for population of
600, 900 persons. In addition to the pro-
lection to life b. this system Of sewer
age and sewage farming the increase of
taxable property by the plan proposed
would be 81, 200. 900, on the estimate of
an advance of $500 per acre on the land
benefited; so in whatever way the sub
ject is viewed there is an advantage to
property and people by this valuable
system.
There is no time to be lost in COM
mencing this necessary work. The
growth of the city is SO rapid that the
work of protecting the city from disease
must be rapid also. The sewage must
be carried to the sea, and the sooner the
right of way is obtained before the
whole plain is subdivided into town lots,
the better. The work of preparation is
being pushed forward by the City Sur.
veyor as fast as possible. His plans
will soon be finished and the right of
way obtained. A description Of the
system will from time to time appear in
